Circle of the Occult

Druids of the Occult have delved into the strange aspects of the world and have learned rites and rituals to contact trickster nature spirits. These Druids are studiers of forgotten dark magic that to some, serves an evil purpose in the world. Occult Druids harness this power for other motives and use it to protect and help nature by learning it. Occult Druids are often mistaken for Hags or Witches, but they are only conduits for its power and do not necessarily have nefarious needs.

Voodoo Magic

When you reach certain levels in this class, you gain access to the spells listed for that level in the Circle of Occult table. Once you gain access to one of these spells, you always have it prepared, and it doesn’t count against the number of spells you can prepare each day. If you gain access to a spell that doesn’t appear on the druid spell list, the spell is nonetheless a druid spell for you.
